Applying the Life/Art Process of field pioneers Anna and Daria Halprin, we will journey to understanding and befriending our bodies, discovering unique perspectives, and building new neural pathways along the way. This will help you to improve balance, mobility, pain management, and emotional well-being; learn to navigate self and environment with greater ease and awareness; and develop individualized resources for living an embodied life though innate creativity. Classes include somatic awareness (bodymind) training, anatomy, physiology, history, writing, drawing, and movement exploration. Intent of creative work is personal growth over exhibition. Suited for all bodies and abilities.

Line dancing keeps us moving and is loads of fun. You don’t need to know how to do it already! Join returning and new enthusiasts to learn several dances in various modes and kinds of music (rock, cha cha, samba, country, easy listening, etc). You need to be steady on your feet, know your body and whether you need a rest, and be able to move for two hours (with plenty of water breaks). If you can walk a mile or two comfortably, this class will likely work for you.
